Skinny Bitch is an entertaining read. I love the writing - the caustic sense of humor and passion really appeal to me. Even if you aren't vegan and are just interested in reducing or eliminating dairy and egg in your cooking, or if you would like to have some meatless meals to reduce your expenses (or your waistline), it's got quite a bit to offer. Although I haven't used many of the recipes in my day to day cooking (except the pumpkin soup - yum) and I don't always see eye to eye with the author, I really appreciate the abundance of factual knowledge about why it's good for the planet and our health to go vegan.
This is a great book for people who need a little extra incentive to become vegan (or stay vegan) and provides logical arguments for those who question veganism. I like how the points in this book aren't based on emotion and personal ethics. Diets (which expand into our lifestyle) are like religion. You have to really believe in something to stick to it. Many of us have already developed our opinions and ethical views, so approaching the topic from a more fact based standpoint with friends and family can be more effective and less likely to escalate things to personal insults and keep conversation in the domain of debate. Information is powerful.
